Study Description

Blood-derived DNA samples were collected from 603 members of large, multigenerational families, collected as part of the Centre d'Etude du Polymorphisme Humain (CEPH) consortium. These DNA samples were sequenced (using Illumina HiSeq technology) to a median genome-wide depth of 30X. Sequenced reads from each individual were aligned to the human reference genome (hg19), generating CRAM files for each individual. Variant calls in VCF format were obtained using the Genome Analysis Toolkit (GATK).
